Students will cover a thorough study and revision of all Unit 3 and 4 Areas of Study including; Data Analysis (core); and Applications (Modules); including three of the following: Module 1: Number Patterns; Module 2: Geometry and Trigonometry; Module 3: Graphs and Relations; Module 4: Business Related Mathematics; Module 5: Networks & Decision Mathematics; or Module 6: Matrices.
Program Structure:
Our Further Mathematics 15 Week Intensive Target Classes are structured into three distinct parts:
Part 1 - Week 1: Held over two days (6 hours in total)
The Advanced Blueprint to VCE Success seminar; designed to develop the skills and strategies necessary for students to become more efficient learners and more focused on achieving their goals.
Part 2 - Weeks 2 to 11: 2 hours per week for 10 weeks (20 hours)
Students will be given a progressive and detailed revision of the subject content. The examinable topics will be addressed systematically and students will complete examination style questions weekly. A week by week description for the Further Mathematics Intensive Target Classes is shown below:

Part 3 - Weeks 12 to 15: Four Trial examination papers under strict examination conditions - 2 hours per week for 4 weeks (8 hours)
Students will complete a trial examination paper under strict examination conditions each week. Upon completion, the trial examination paper will be assessed and immediate feedback will be given on how scores can be improved.
The Further Mathematics papers are written by senior VCE teachers, published authors, VCE assessors and state reviewers with ample experience in setting and marking VCE examinations.
A week by week description for the last four weeks of the Further Mathematics Intensive Target Classes is shown below:
| Week 12 |
Trial Examination 1 |
Multiple-choice Questions Exam (under exam conditions). |
| Week 13 |
Trial Examination 2 |
Extended-answer Questions Exam (under exam conditions). |
| Week 14 |
Trial Examination 1 |
Multiple-choice Questions Exam (under exam conditions). |
| Week 15 |
Trial Examination 2 |
Extended-answer Questions Exam (under exam conditions). |
* At the completion of week 11 of the program (and in addition to the weekly notes) students will receive one bound reference text, suitable for examinations 1 and 2 (which they may annotate).
